How to disable a link using only CSS?

Question

Is there any way to disable a link using CSS?

I have a class called current-page and want links with this class to be disabled so that no action occurs

Answer 1

Another trick is to place a invisible element above it. This will disable any hover effects as well

.myButton{
    position: absolute;
    display: none;
}

.myButton::after{ 
    position: absolute;
    content:"";
    height:100%;
    width:100%;
    top:0;
    left:0;
}
